Hal-Berta Giant Peach 
A Giant in Size—A Marvel in Beauty and Quality 
Here’s the amazing NEW Mid-Season Perfect Free- 
stone Yellow Peach —the Giant son of J. H. Hale, 
which FILLS the long-felt market need for a 
supremely HIGH QUALITY, EXTRA LARGE yellow 
freestone peach to lengthen the Hale-Elberta season. 
It is a beautiful peach — almost fuzzless skin — small 
pit — firm, solid, luscious, honey-juice flesh. 
Hal-Berta Giant originated in famous Markham 
Peach Orchard, Clay Co., Illinois. After thoroughly 
investigating and testing this remarkable peach and 
the tree that bore it, WE BOUGHT THE ORIGINAL 
HAL-BERTA GIANT TREE, PAYING THE HIGH- 
EST PRICE EVER PAID:FOR A PEACH TREE. 
Hal-Berta Giant has everything that the American 
Peach Grower can ask for. It has great size — aver- 
aging on the original tree 30% larger than beautiful 
J. H. Hale in the same orchard; it has the beauty, 
being almost round — same shape as J. H. Hale — is 
highly colored; it ripens a week to 10 days later than 
Elberta and goes on the market just when high class 
peaches are wanted. The tree is a strong grower, 
thrifty, gocd bearer and from a production standpoint 
is thoroughly satisfactory. The first report on this 
peach from the orchard of the originator by one of our 
experts said, “It is so marvelous that one must see this 
tree in order to get a real idea of how beautiful and 
big peaches can be.” 
HALBERTA—FINEST PEACH EVER SEEN 
I took some Halberta Peaches to the Topeka State Fair last 
year where they won first prize. The man in charge of the 
Department for many years told me that my IIal-Berta Giant 
were the finest peaches he had ever seen.
